Then, Armani Watts intercepted a Joshua Dobbs pass to finally end a almost five-hour marathon – much to the euphoria and relief of a crowd of 106,248 at Kyle Field.

The two teams exchanged field goals in the first overtime. Knight threw two interceptions and nearly a third, completing only 50 percent of his passes as the hit-and-miss Aggie offense had 11 fruitless possessions in which they gained less than 30 yards.

Texas A&M (6-0, 4-0) had a chance to win it in regulation, but Daniel LaCamera’s 38-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left.

That was the feeling before the game, at halftime and even more so late in the fourth quarter when Texas A&M freshman running back Trayveon Williams was dashing toward the end zone with what looked like the icing-on-the-cake touchdown.

Williams led the way for a Texas A&M ground attack that recorded 353 yards and averaged 7.1 yards per carry in the overtime win over Tennessee. Five plays later, Knight found Christian Kirk on a shallow crossing route for a 13-yard touchdown and the Aggies’ first score of the game. Texas A&M forced three turnovers in the opening quarter, two leading to touchdowns and another potentially saving one.Knight had a hand in all three scores. Dalvin Cook and Kermit Whitfield had touchdown catches in the third quarter to help the Seminoles beat Miami for the seventh straight time.

Overtime. The Volunteers get the ball first. The junior finished 31-for-38 for 405 yards and four total touchdowns against Florida State.

The Texas A&M Aggies (5-0) are coming from a 24-13 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks in week 5. James White had 27 yards and a touchdown.

As for the Aggies, they’ve bounced back from a tumultuous past year to move to a ideal 6-0 for the first time since 1994, making them Alabama’s top competition in the SEC, with a week off before visiting Tuscaloosa on October 22.

We wondered how long Butch Jones’ team could keep its undefeated streak alive . The drive was capped off by an 18-yard touchdown pass from Josh Dobbs to running back Alvin Kamara.

A short pass from Dobbs to Kamara went for 55 yards and inside the Texas A&M 10.

Barrett was 9 of 23 for 93 yards.

Tennessee got the ball after the touchback, promptly driving all the way back down the field to score with just 41 seconds left, tying the game 35-35.

No matter how many mistakes they make.

Wright’s go-ahead TD came after McKeever fought through a block from Nic Weishar up the middle to deflect Tyler Newsome’s punt. But Tennessee gave the ball right back two plays later when John Kelly fumbled in the red zone. And the Aggies quickly extended their lead to 28-7 with a 7-yard touchdown scamper moments later. The Volunteers played from their largest deficit of the season down 28-7 early in the third quarter. Hurts passed for 253 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two scores. The Seminoles look to get out of the ACC Atlantic cellar as they visit a third ranked opponent this season in No. 10 Miami.

Auburn 38, Miss. St. 14: Kamryn Pettway had career highs in rushing yards (169), touchdowns (three) and carries (39) for the visiting Tigers.

“What this team is about is not panicking and communicating”, Sumlin said, “I thought our guys still stayed in there and played”. Tennessee and Florida are now tied at 2-1. Tennessee will be favored in every game aside from that Alabama game.

“We showed a lot of resilience”, All-American defensive end Myles Garrett said.
